Congratulations to Arek Korbik, who’s just released a library that allows OGG Vorbis playback in fp10. It’s been coded using haxe. ALL this neat language still misses is a FDT-level eclipse plugin. It just rocks.

One day using Chrome

Still perfect. I’m surprised to see some bad reviews around. They are mostly from people who doesn’t even know what a VM is. With Chrome, Google achieved two things:

1 – Understanding that the browser is no more than a browser. Chrome won’t bother claiming it’s own existance all the time, and that’s the point for a browser. Plus, it is faster and more stable than any other.

2 – With the new VM, it will allow for a new level of applications, actually a new horizon of expectations. EVERYTHING I run, and I run a bunch of Ajax apps daily, is way faster on it. No comparisons are even possible – it is just another level.

From a developer’s perspective, nothing important will change this soon. We’re already testing for Safari – thus, for the same Webkit -. But with the growth of Chrome and/or the adoption of this new VM by other browsers, JS will become even more of a serious thing. I expected it to happen with Ecmascript 4, which won’t come to life anymore. So now, we still won’t have a decent language, but the most important, a decent performance, will be enough – considering so much has been done with today’s limitations.
